​​​​​​​​​​​​​AUSTIN, SAN ANTONIO - With three of the fastest-growing counties in the nation—Bexar, Travis, and Williamson—the Central Texas region is adding new residents rapidly.

In Austin and San Antonio, new residents are arriving at a rate of about 150 people per day, according to the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2014–2015 data.

New neighbors mean a growing need for services such as healthcare, education and infrastructure.

When it comes to real estate, the Central Texas region is seeing hospital expansions and growing investor interest in healthcare and MOB assets.

As the recession has shifted investors’ appetites, healthcare property types are no longer an outlier; they have entered into the medical arena as a viable investment optiondue to increased rents (and their reliable cash flow) that can now rival traditional office assets.
